Abstract
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that primarily arises in the perineum and pelvis of young females. It is sometimes identified incidentally on pelvic examination and obstetric imaging. Although asymptomatic at small sizes, AAM is typically hypervascular and can grow large enough to complicate a patient's obstetric and gynecologic course of treatment. While AAM is a rare diagnosis reported in the literature, there are limited descriptions of its multimodal radiologic appearance, and uncommonly, it can present as a hypovascular mass. We describe a rare case of hypovascular AAM in pregnancy that did not respond favorably to targeted embolization, with a special focus on its multimodal imaging timeline.
